Question

How many isomeric vicinal-dihalides are possible for the compound having molecular formula C3H6C12 ? (A)  1  (B)  2  (C)  3  (D)  4

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In vicinal-dihalides, the two —Cl atoms are present at adjacent positions. In case of C 3 H 6 Cl 2 only one such structure is possible. Hence, only one vicinal-dihalide is possible for C 3 H 6 Cl 2 CH3 — underset overset|Cl CH— underset overset|ClCH2 1, 2-dichloropropane
